Roo has been trending towards huge names that are also big in the European festival circuit as well. I'm really interested to see if they continue down that road or if they pick a few smaller but equally awesome names this year.

"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio." -Hunter S. Thompson

I don't see Chemical Brothers happening because of their tour dates around the time of 'roo, but I'd love to see one or more of these:JusticeMajor LazerRJD2DJ ShadowFatboy Slim Felix da HousecatUnderworld (I think this would be epic, particularly in Deadmau5's spot from last year.

Mark Farina. Yes.

I personally think they need to hire someone to take care of just the Electronic talent. It usually leaves a lot to be desired when there is SO much more out there than trance and newer gimmicky acts. Yes, as fun as it is, Girl Talk and Deadmau5 are gimmicky acts.

I also HATE cd's and laptops. There's already enough issues with electronic vs. live music. Cd's and Laptops make it worse.

You can do creative things through laptops - my biggest quirp is the CD-J type setups, the controls are so small you can barely get creative on a cut. Stuck with the songs on the disc so you usually end up with the same club bangers you've heard a million times.Burned me up a little bit when at the Lunar Stage it seemed to be ONLY CDJ up there, not even a serato setup <- disappointed baby.
